Grade: 7 Unit: 1 Week: 4 Dates: 9/10-9/14 Content: Multiplication and Division of Rational Numbers
Theme Essential Question: How can you apply and extend the usage of rational numbers when dealing with real world problems?
Essential Questions:
When can you apply the product of rational numbers to describing real-world contexts?
When can you apply the quotient of rational numbers to describing real-world contexts?
Standards: 7. NS.2: Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.
7. NS.2a: Understand that multiplication is extended from fractions to rational numbers by requiring that operations, particularly the distributive property, leading to products such as (-1)(-1) = 1 and the rules for multiplying signed numbers. Interpret products of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
7. NS.2b: Understand that integers can be divided, provided that the divisor is not zero, and every quotient of integers (with non-zero divisor) is a rational number. If p and q are integers then – (p/q) = (–p)/q = p/ (–q). Interpret quotients of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
7. NS.2c: Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide rational numbers.
Objectives:
The student will multiply and divide positive and negative rational numbers.
The student will solve real-world applications with multiplication and division of rational numbers.
The student will explore the meaning of division by zero.
Reflections and/or Comments from your PCSSD 7th Grade Curriculum Team By now we hope you are having a successful year implementing the Common Core Curriculum. Students should be building skills using the Eight Mathematical Practices. These practices are a big part of the process that builds student’s problem solving skills, thinking and reasoning skills while also giving students a chance to communicate and make connections with what they are learning. We hope you will continue to display and talk about these Mathematic Practices as you get a chance to incorporate them into your lessons. At this point in the curriculum, students have had an opportunity to develop strategies/algorithms which are the foundation to Mathematical Practice #3, construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Formally introduction Mathematical Practice #3:

Using what students already know about positive and negative whole numbers and multiplication with its relationship to division, students should generalize rules for multiplying and dividing rational numbers. Multiply or divide the same as for positive numbers, then designate the sign according to the number of negative factors. Students should analyze and solve problems leading to the generalization of the rules for operations with integers. For example, beginning with known facts, students predict the answers for related facts, keeping in mind that the properties of operations apply (See Tables 1, 2 and 3 below).
Table 1
Table 2
Table 3
4 x 4 = 16
4 x 4 = 16
-4 x -4 = 16
4 x 3 = 12
4 x 3 = 12
-4 x -3 = 12
4 x 2 = 8
4 x 2 = 8
-4 x -2 = 8
4 x 1 = 4
4 x 1 = 4
-4 x -1 = 4
4 x 0 = 0
4 x 0 = 0
-4 x 0 = 0

Using the language of “the opposite of” helps some students understand the multiplication of negatively signed numbers (-4 x -4 = 16, the opposite of 4 groups of -4). Discussion about the tables should address the patterns in the products, the role of the signs in the products, and the commutative property of multiplication. Then students should be asked to answer these questions and prove their responses. • Is it always true that multiplying a negative factor by a positive factor results in a negative product? • Does a positive factor times a positive factor always result in a positive product? • What is the sign of the product of two negative factors? • When three factors are multiplied, how is the sign of the product determined? • How is the numerical value of the product of any two numbers found? Students can use number lines with arrows and hops, groups of colored chips or logic to explain their reasoning. When using number lines, establishing which factor will represent the length, number, and direction of the hops will facilitate understanding. Through discussion, generalization of the rules for multiplying integers would result. Division of integers is best understood by relating division to multiplication and applying the rules. In time, students will transfer the rules to division situations. (Note: In 2b, this algebraic language (–(p/q) = (–p)/q = p/(–q)) is written for the teacher’s information, not as an expectation for students.) Ultimately, students should solve other mathematical and real-world problems requiring the application of these rules with fractions and decimals.
Assessment: Product This will be an ongoing product that will be developed during each week of the unit. Continue foldables this week with multiplication and division. Foldable
Make a foldable with five divided sections (3 pieces of paper needed). Students will create a section for each of the following:
Addition- Have written rule and examples using integers, fractions, and decimals.

Lost in Lexicon: An Adventure in Words and Numbers by Pendred Noyce and Joan Charles (Jul 26, 2011)
"If this is an adventure, we should just plunge in..."
When thirteen-year-old cousins Ivan and Daphne go on a treasure hunt in the rain one summer day, they never expect to stumble into a whole new world where words and numbers run wild.
After the cousins outwit a plague of punctuation, grateful villagers beg them to find Lexicon's missing children, who have been enticed away by dancing lights in the sky. Trekking between villages in search of clues, the cousins encounter a talking thesaurus, a fog of forgetting, the Mistress of Metaphor, a panel of poets, feuding parts of speech, and the illogical mathematicians of Irrationality. When a careless Mathemystical reflects them across the border into the ominous Land of Night, their peril deepens. Kidnapped, imprisoned, and mesmerized—with time running out—will Ivan and Daphne find a way to solve the mystery of the lights in the sky and restore the lost children of Lexicon to their homes? Lost in Lexicon will whisk children away into an interactive and magical world of learning.

Learning about Multiplication Using Dynamic Sketches of an Area Model
http://www.nctm.org/standards/content.aspx?id=25090 Students can learn to visualize the effects of multiplying a fixed positive number by positive numbers greater than 1 and less than 1 with this tool. Using interactive figures, students can investigate how changing the height of a rectangle with a fixed width changes its area. e-Math Investigations are selected e-examples from the electronic version of the Principles and Standards of School Mathematics (PSSM). The e-examples are part of the electronic version of the PSSM document. Given their interactive nature and focused discussion tied to the PSSM document, the e-examples are natural companions to the i-Math investigations.
Multiplying Integers Using Videotape
http://illuminations.nctm.org/LessonDetail.aspx?ID=L285 In this lesson, students experience beginning-algebra concepts through discussion, exploration, and videotaping. The concept of multiplication of integers is presented in a format which encourages understanding, not simply rote memorization of facts. This lesson plan is adapted from the article, "A Videotaping Project to Explore the Multiplication of Integers", by Marcia B. Cooke, which appeared in Arithmetic Teacher, Vol. 41, No. 3 (November 1993) pp. 170-171.
Too Big or Too Small?
http://illuminations.nctm.org/LessonDetail.aspx?ID=L252 In this lesson, students develop number sense through a series of three hands-on activities. Students explore the following concepts: the magnitude of a million, fractions between 0 and 1, and the effect of decimal operations.
